You, spice pumpkin latte

We officially entered the "disgustingly sugary lattes" season.
[Yay?]
So, on this fine mid-October day, I want to bother you with a silly post about what Thrawn&Co. would pick in a hipster, wooden-patterned, indie music-swathed cozy cafe.

In my headcanon, Thrawn has an irredeemable sweet tooth.
I am entertained by the idea that the same people that think he is an emotionless, cold villain would pick for him bitter black coffee while he would probably smash their claims against the most obscenely syrupy drink on the menu.
Like a pumpkin pancake latte, with butter pecan, maple syrup, and spices.
Or a campfire mocha, with honey, chocolate, and toasted marshmallows.
I just got a cavity typing that, but, man, he would looooove it.

Ar'alani gives me more of the vibe of someone that, surrounded by saccharines, would pick the supposedly less sugary drink, but without being that grinchy killjoy that orders just straight black coffee.
[She is not a snob like that]
[Samakro, though, would probably be that person]
[But everyone would love him nevertheless, even if teasing him to death]
Anyway. Ar'alani.
Pumpkin cream cold brew. Pretending to respect the seasonal flavor with the spices but on a strong, bitter, highly caffeinated base.
And she doesn't give a kriff about the cold after all.

Eli, obviously, would pick something decisively sugary, but not sickly sweet like Thrawn.
Possibly a cinnamon roll latte, with brown sugar, vanilla, and caramel.
[Well, this is kind of nauseatingly sweet, actually]
Or, maybe, a white pumpkin mocha, with white chocolate and pumpkin spice.
Just for still savoring the coffee taste, a little.

Stars, I think I am running out of characters here.
Let me just add Ch'eri, ok?
Caramel apple hot cider. With cinnamon sticks.
And, yes, she would totally rob some of Thrawn's drinks when she thinks he is not looking.
[But he is looking]
[Obviously]
[And smiles]

[I normally do not like to ask "engagement" questions, but I am genuinely curious about your headcanons! Comment with the offensively sugary drinks they would order]
